between the members 3 and 4 and it is also further thought to be obvious how the metallic plates 7 and 9 permit the animal to lie down or assume a reclining position. The metallic members are so constnieted as to permit the cattle when in a reclining position, tohold their heads on either side as is the natural position they assume w n-n 'lhe fact that the device is held by the chains 13 and t5 permits a lateral or rotary movement of the device, \Vlllt'll further enhances thensc of the same.

I claim:

1. In adevice of the character described, the combination with an upper and a lower beam, of a stanchion com rising two bars spaced apart and havin a Ydoek inter xmed, an eye bolt in said bloc suitable means for cgnnectin r said eye bolt to the u per beam, 0. standar having one of its en 8 fix'ed between said bars and at right angles thereto, a similar standard laterally movable between said bars, a compound curved mem-' ber extending beyond'the outer plane of said fixed standard a longitudinal extension of said com iound curved member, a second compoun curved member dependin from said movable standard, the opening ormed by said second mentioned compound curved l i i i i i ou,s11

member extending beyond the outer plumof said movable standard, said last mentioned compound curved member being hingcdly secured to the longitudinal extension of said limt. named rompound nu-mlu-r. a suitable means for retaining said movable standard in u \erticnl, closed position and a suitable means for etl'eetirrtr romirrting the lower part of said stunehiow with said lower beam.

2. A stanchion t-omirising tVvo upright members, a frame applied to the up )t'l' Hills thermf, and comm-ting Int-nus font no lower ends thereof, said connecting means romprising laterally extending(-ompound curved members hinged together. whereby an 0 )ening is provided for the lower portion 0 the stanchion, the extent of said opening reaching beyond the outer surface. of earh of said upright members.

3. A stanchion rom n'ising a pair of upright lllt'llllllfi, suitn ale means to set-ore the upper ends thereof in locked relationship and a pair of compound curved members hinged together and attached to the lower ends of said uprights, said com )Olllltl curved members being each curved outwardly to provide an opening and rein-h- .in beyond the outer surface of each of said upright members.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
